There is a metal tube that runs behind the engine block I think it mounts to the fire wall its
for the charcoal canister line. I forgot to mount it before i dropped the tube on. The engine is also mounted, more then anything im looking for a picture of one mounted. its a 1982 fj40 thanks man....

Sorry I don't know anything about anything that new. Post a picture of the fire wall and some others can be more helpful

thanks guys I can't thank you enough preciate it!
Seth I have a 78. It too has a metal tube running from the canister across the fire wall (behind valve cover) and comes out towards drivers fender. It runs parallel to the ground and should be held on by 4(?) brackets into 6x1.00 bolt holes in the firewall. It has soft gas lines and is part of the carbeuration fumes return/emissions system.
Not positive about an 82 but you should be able to slide that pipe behind and under without too much interference. Then mount to firewall before attaching hoses.
I too will look for pics and if I find some I will post.
The fact that the tub and engine are in should not be an issue. I put mine on after. Some patience and finagling should do it.
Good luck

I believe it mounts to bendy tabs right along the top of the firewall. I don't think it will be difficult to install after the engine.
You can see it pretty clearly here. Mine is like this. It's possible a later model is different.

No, it is the one at the top, it connects to that rubber hose that then goes into the top of the black canister.
So to Anderson your question, Seth, it runs along the very top of the firewall.

Snooz, if it's the one on top of firewall why would he suggest there be interference with tub and motor??? Doesn't make sense.... Hell you are aware of how much "I don't" know but I do know the top rail to canister is not impeded by engine or tub. - but hey, I've been wrong before.
I do believe both lines are relevant to the canister. But I'm chillin on couch until he pipes in for more info....
Where's Seth?
